Wireless connectivity for Trety IP Set Top Boxes. ............................................................................... 21

Introduction The Net-TV market is taking off with actors like Philips, Samsung, Sony, LG, Panasonic etc. This gives the

audience an opportunity to take part of feature films, series, sports and music on their big flat screens in

the living room. If a household has no intention to change the recently bought flat screen, but just would

like to take part of all these services, or the content provider who would like to develop one solution for

all TV sets, Trety Media Ltd can offer an attractive and cost saving alternative “the Trety Media box”.

Market Overview

In 2010, over 190 million TV sets were sold, whereof 21 % were connected TV´s.

People normally use to change their TV´s every 5-8 year. The total TV viewing increases as people gets an

improved viewing experience with integrated Internet TV. TV manufactures tries to control and make

content exclusive for their own brand but the box can be transparent to all content regardless of TV

brand. This makes the potential connected TV market for the box huge.

Major USP’s

Low power consumption

The box operates with extremely low power consumption. It consumes only 0.5W standby and 6W in

use. That is less than 20% of most of the boxes in the market. This makes the box both friendly towards

the environment as well as cost effective.

Mobile connection

The box is ready to use with a mobile connection. Support for LTE dongle provided by IP Wireless.

Support for both FDD and TDD modulation modes. Multiband capable radio supporting the 700MHz –

2.7GHz spectrum.

The access point at home

The box makes it possible to share the integrated WiFi 802.11n radio as a wireless access point, when

the device is connected to the Internet via Wireless broadband.

3D

HDMI 1.4a Video interface offering the possibility for 3D TV is already standard in our devices.

Design

Our intention is to differentiate this product from other boxes, with similar and improved functionality

and generic designs in the home environment. We have looked at usage for the two main parts of the

concept; remote and box, as well as how they relate to each other. We have also worked with a unique

identity and expression that relate to the context where the product will be placed.

Two versions – IP and Hybrid

Two versions are available – IP and Hybrid. The main functionalities are the same in both versions, but

with the Hybrid it is also possible to have multiple connections. It means that the Hybrid box can be

connected at two distribution sources at the same time i.e. Internet + cable network, Internet + satellite

network etc.

Latest Technologies

The Trety Media Boxes represents the latest, in technology and functionality, which the set-top box

market has to offer. With a focus on affordability and user experience we offer a streaming IP media

device ready for tomorrow’s content rich requirements.

The user experience

We are able to offer operators as well as the media and broadcasting industry a device, capable of

supporting todays as well as tomorrow’s requirements for User Interfaces and User Experiences at

The Media Player Plug-In

The media player plug-in is the central object used to control media playback via a browser. Together

with PIPER, it encapsulates the transport protocols as well as displaying the DRM protected audio and

video content. The vendor-specific implementation uses the hardware features (DSP) of the Media

processor. The API is a subset of the Windows Media Player 6.4 API, corresponding links to the MSDN are

provided.

Mediaplayer

Type: object

Required: mandatory

Purpose: Provides an interface to the native video player

User interface & Device Software updater The introduction of IP-based communications to the Set top box presents a completely different

approach to SW maintenance of the Box software. The box goes “Online” every time the viewer turns it

on. That gives the our customers the option to keep both the User interface and the Device SW

environment updated in the most cost efficient and flexible way.

The User Interface Updater

Our User interface is based on HTML(5), CCS and JAVA. This gives the flexibility to constantly download

new User interface experiences. To maintain a local copy of the User interface we are using HTML5

“Cash manifest” for local storage.

The Device Software update framework

Based on LINUX, Client / Server update component for IP based remote updates. Part of software

development framework suitable for building internet streaming, IPTV, VOD, internet on TV, PVR/DVR,

DMA and home networking solutions.

The media update component

We provide our customers with different ready-to-use software libraries that they can integrate into

their software to shorten the product’s time-to-market significantly. One of these libraries is the update

infrastructure library. As the name implies, this library consists of multiple components.

A ready-to-use client software that runs on the STB. A ready-to-use server environment that creates all

necessary files to be placed on internet servers that provide software updates for the STB.

Client software functionality

It is important to note that although its name may suggest it, the update infrastructure library does not

actually perform any application software updates on the STB. Its purpose is solely to check for updates

on an internet server and subsequently download the updates to the STB. The only update functionality

that it provides directly, is the ability to write new OS images using the Nano flash library.

The client software runs on the STB and consists of 2 parts:

1. A small start-up stub that connects to the update server and verifies that the update client

software is the most recent version.

2. The update client that connects to the update server to download the actual fi les that compose

the update and verify their integrity by using MD5-checksums.

The customer’s STB software calls the start-up stub to initiate the update process. During the update

process frequent feedback is provided to the customer’s application, so that it can update the UI (for

example: display a status bar). After downloading the files the client component returns control to the

customer’s application which then has to perform the adequate steps to update the software on the box

(i.e. copying downloaded fi les to their destination, updating configuration fi les and so on).

In the current version (Version 2) the client software provides functionality for a linear point-to-point

upgrade path. That means that the STB-software is updated from one version to the next. There is

currently no support for optional updates or branching upgrades. However, STBs are identified by their

serial numbers and the update components can provide different updates to different serial numbers.

This allows, for example, for creating a group of beta testing boxes that receive new software first.

Server software functionality

We can provide a server software solution, a fully-fledged solution based on a web-interface with

additional server services, and a managed ASP-style service. In that case Trety Media will operate the

server part of the Updater for the customer on a redundant server infrastructure. The server software

solution provide a mechanism for deploying new software updates and operating system updates on a

server and delivering them to a client the fully fledged version provides the following features:

� Convenient web-interface with full user management.

� Distributing the updates to multiple download servers.

� Load-balancing on an application-level to use these multiple servers.

� Easy management of product versions by assigning updates to blocks of serial numbers.

The full version follows a general philosophy of making it easy to distribute different updates to clients.

This way, beta testers and product types can easily be accommodated

Wireless connectivity for Trety IP Set Top Boxes.

The Trety IP Set-Top box products are structured as two separate functional blocks. An Internet access

block and the Media player block. Key reasons to this structure are modularity, performance

Media player block.

Main features for the Internet access block are:

� Ethernet 10/100 WAN interface

� USB2 Host interface supporting 4G/LTE USB dongles for wireless WAN access

� WiFi solution (LAN) supporting 802.11 n in access point and client mode

� RGMll Interface (LAN) for connectivity towards Media player block

� Self-contained OS and Webserver

� Possibility for TR-069 Network management support

Router Features:

� 4G routing speeds of appr. 50 Mbps

� Appoint Ethernet WAN port or USB modem as primary Internet access.

� NAT router with DHCP server
